Translating d20 classes and skills to and from Star Frontiers is particularly tricky. This section attempts to provide a dependable system for developing character d20-skills/subskills and classes/d100-skills.

Star Frontiers is a lot simpler game than the d20 3.5 system. In fact, it's even simpler than the classic d6 system. This is because it lacks true classing and has limited skill levels. It also does not have the rankings or feats of 3.5 (though this mechanic will soon be a distant memory in the 4.0 system). Another thing it does not have are talents.

Thus, translating these things between the two systems is very much an art and very little standardization.
